Your baby's maintenance dose for zinc is 200 to 300 mcg where as zinc syrup contains 900 mcg of elemental zinc in one ml so it's better to give drops.

No harm in giving syrup except that its difficult to adjust/ titrate dosage for this small baby if you give zoncovit syrup. Its wise if you give 1 ml daily zoncovit drops for some time.
